The market will also feature Euro-Delicacies, which specializes in Greek and Turkish prepared meals, along with Pa’s Pistols Hot Dogs.

“The Greenfield Farmers Market seeks to be more than just a place to shop, we want to be a Friday night gathering place for the community,” said Louise Okoniewski, Greenfield Historical Society president. “We will have something for everyone at this market and we urge families to come with their children since we are right next to a great playground area in Middle Grove Park.”

The market is sponsored by the historical society and the town of Greenfield.

This year, however, it is being run by vendors, who got together with the Historical Society and created a new leadership structure that puts the vendors in charge of daily decision-making and market operations.

“We felt like we needed a more democratic process for operating the market, said Ron Deutsch, Historical Society trustee and market coordinator. “The vendors have a wealth of experience and know best how to operate and manage the market effectively.”

Organizers plan to feature local musical talent, artists and authors at the market this year. A local singer, songwriter and guitarist will be on hand for this Friday’s opening.

The Historical Society will also be offering tours of historic Odd Fellows Hall next to Middle Grove Park. The Historical Society is creating a Greenfield History Museum on the second floor of the building that will provide residents with a look back in time. The museum will feature exhibits on historic activities in Greenfield including different industries that have developed over time and historic events that have occurred in town over the years.

The historic hall will be open during market hours.
